Abstract excerpt
In contrast to normal mice, autoimmune-prone New Zealand Black (NZB) mice are defective in susceptibility to tolerance induced by deaggregated bovine γ globulin (DBGG). To examine whether this defect is related to the loss of self-tolerance in autoimmunity, susceptibility loci for this defect were examined by genome-wide analysis using the F(2) intercross of nonautoimmune C57BL/6 (B6) and NZB mice. One NZB locus...
